Lanthanated Tungsten electrode is a non-radioavtive material with good welding
performance. Its electric conductivity is most closed to that of 2% Thoriated
Tungsten. Welders can easily replace Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes with
Lanthanated without any changes of welding program. In Europe and Japan,
Lathanated Tungsten has been the most popular alternative to 2% Thoriated
Tungsten for most applications. This tungsten is used primarily for DC welding
but will also show good results for AC welding.
